How do you identify turmeric and where is it grown?

Yellow root is a substantial plant that grows three or more feet tall with 5 inch, deep green leaves. They flower with a show-stopping green or white flower spike edged in vibrant pinks or yellows. You’ll find haldi in the warm, humid conditions of India, which produces about 90% of the world’s turmeric crop. Southeastern Asia and Central and Latin America countries grow the remaining harvest.

Long history in India

India also consumes 80% of what they grow as Turmeric is the spice behind curry’s yellow color. India has consumed this spice for thousands of years as a slightly bitter flavoring in cooking and as a medicinal herb. It has also been used in religious ceremonies. Modern science has some catching up to do, with only having this herb on its radar for the past 25 years or so.
